Skydance Television

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

On May 1, 2013, Skydance Media launched a television division, hiring Marcy Ross as division president. Carolyn Harris joined the company as vice president a month later. It didn't use an on-screen logo until 2014.

1st Logo (July 27, 2014-December 21, 2022)


Visuals: There is a flash of light that dims to reveal a shortened version of the 2010 film logo, with "TELEVISION" replacing "PRODUCTIONS" and a trademark symbol next to it.

Technique: CGI. Like its movie counterpart, it's done by Picturemill.

Audio: The last four notes of the theatrical logo's fanfare by Pinar Toprak or silence.

Availability:

  • First seen on Manhattan, and was later seen on Grace and Frankie, Ten Days in the Valley, Altered Carbon, and the first two seasons of Condor.
  • Even after the next logo debuted, this was still seen on the remainder of Grace and Frankie (starting with "The Raccoon") and the first three seasons of Jack Ryan.

2nd Logo (February 4, 2021-)


Visuals: On the same background as the current Skydance Media logo, the letters in "SKYDANCE" zoom out. Once they are almost finished zooming, a flash of light draws an arc underneath as "TELEVISION" (in Hurme Geometric Sans 2 Regular font) is seen being wiped in.

Variant: On Foundation, the logo is shortened to the final few seconds.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The final notes of the film logo's fanfare composed by Lorne Balfe, the closing theme of the show, or silence.

Availability: Used in tandem with the previous logo until 2022.

  • First seen on this article on Skydance's website, and debuted with Foundation and later seen on Reacher, The Big Door Prize and the final season of Jack Ryan.
  • The version with the theme debuted on The Checkup: With Dr. David Agus.
